Ok, Tom, stickshift, et alia. Let's get back to the subject matter at hand and try to figure out what's being observed, or what to call it, when we observe physical differences between a 'clone' (I tend to call them cuttings) and the mother plant. If it's a phenotype change, can you explain what spurred it?
What if we use the unnamed African I grew out this year as an example? If you'll recall, I mentioned that grown indoors, which is the conditions the line is said to have been selected for, the cuttings grow short and stout, though the leaves still retained some of their Sativa slimness. I grew out two cuttings of the same line, and one appeared to revert back to her Sativa roots. She stretched like no tomorrow, the leaves almost turned into strings the lobes became so narrow, the buds 'roped' up the plant instead of the packing and stacking that's typically observed in Afghani hybrids. She finished, but when the weather got really hot she began to throw out new pistil growth as well as stretched a bit taller, especially as compared to her sisters.
So, what am I observing, and what is it properly called?
